Hi Kelly,
A direct flight to NYC would be a preferred destination. As well as a reliable flight to Albany. I have stopped using Cape Air from Massena to Albany/Boston because too many times it gets cancelled due to weather. 

Thank you,
Cathy

Dear Kelly,

My two cents on this matter; I travel to New York City quite often on business, and I would probably do it more often if it was easier. I second Anju Sethi’s opinion in this regard. Again, I know it is not an option, but it would make bringing in professionals in my field as well as an exchange more convenient.

It is promising that Massena is considering expanding its service. I’m not sure how many of you are/would be involved with Clarkson's proposed Pier 26 building in Manhattan.

Cheers,
Alex

Colleagues,

 

We know many people travel in /out of Potsdam on different modes of transportation and when travelling by air, consider several different options.

 

The Town of Massena is currently reviewing two proposals by airlines to provide air service from Massena International Airport to regional air service hubs. 

 

The current supplier has three daily roundtrips to Albany with connecting service to Boston on nine-passenger Cessna aircraft.  The same carrier also offers flights to Albany with connections to Boston via the Ogdensburg Airport.   

 

The Town of Massena is also considering a provider (may be an alternative provider) with nine-passenger planes that has offered to fly two direct routes,  with the Town needing to choose two choices from among the list of Albany, Boston, Buffalo or Baltimore.  

 

The Town Council will be holding a public meeting on Nov. 30 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 30 on the second floor of the Massena Town Hall, 60 Main St..  If you would like to submit comments to me about the likelihood you would use the Massena Airport with these destinations, including naming the two direct destinations you would most likely choose to use, I will be collecting wider feedback from Clarkson and sending a summary to the Town Supervisor.   Your response to me by November 29 would be appreciated.  

 

Please let me know if you have further questions or comments.  Thanks. 

 

Kelly
